Sometimes it is our expectations

When an issue is detected people look at it and find ways around it. This can lead to advances in other areas as well as solving the issue at hand.

Some issues however can be over thought and made too complicated for little, or no, return.

This issue where people click the camera button just too late or too early and miss the frame they want. There are many options available to attempt to capture the moment but none are guaranteed. To me however the answer is simple. Technology advances daily on common everyday tools like cameras, videos etc. We just need to up the resolution on video cameras to match still cameras so we can video everything over a few seconds and pick the frames out we need, and there are several easy ways to do that and the problem is solved. We can prioritise it or simply wait until the time is right when video improves to the resolution you want as advances are made all the time. No need for anything smart or complicated.

As it is camera resolution is above 10 Mega Pixels while video resolution lags behind but is still better than cameras were only five years ago. I suspect the issue is that we expect the best resolution possible from video, the same a camera, while video will always lag the camera resolution due to the technology used to video. We however, want the same.

Basically, we are just spoilt. This game will go on a long time until still cameras become obsolete and we will have video cameras capableof taking pictures at 100 fpm at 20MP and we will still not think it is good enough.
